P R E S I D E N T ' S C O L U M NIt's November! Time for marathons and cross-country! Elsewhere in this issue you will seeTaconic results fromChicago, Marine Corps, Mohawk-Hudson (Schenectady-Albany), and Munich. Congratulations specifically toConnie Davis for her third place overall finish at Marine Corps (2:58) and to Joe Jeraci for his PR at Mohawk-Hudson (3:00:34) - oh so close!! Next issue you will see the results from New York.

Taconic's best X-C event is coming up in December as part of the Holiday weekend. Of course I'm referring to theX-C Relay at Blue Mountain Reservation on Saturday, December 2'"^. Get yourself a team and come out for fun inthe woods -pancake breakfast to follow. Think of it as Mudders & Grunters or Leatherman's Loop times four

(make that X3 for women). This is running at its best, none of that treadmill crap.

And don't forget the rest of the Holiday Weekend events. Friday night is Taconic kid's night at Blue Mountain Trail Lodge. Bring the littleones (and a gift for Santa to distribute) for fun and crafts and a visit from Santa. Saturday morning it's the X-C relay, Saturday evening isthe adults Holiday Party (bring a pot luck dish, TRRC will supply the holiday cheer). We cap off the weekend with the Couples Relay at BlueMountain, This is a great event, lots of fun. If you miss this one, you've made a mistake.

The best indoor track meet in NY comes to Madison Square Garden in February. As we have for a number of years, Taconic Road Runnerswill be ordering a bunch of tickets as a group. If you are interested in seeing some of the 2000 Olympians up close and personal in theconfines of MSG, call me.

As some of you gointo winter hibernation, others will be planning their Spring marathon training programs. For Lee & I this means gettingour stuff together for the London marathon on April 22,2001. Lee will be coming off a particularly fine series of races leading up to the NYCmarathon. She will carry this into the winter and will surely have a great London race. For me, it's starting at square one yet again. We'llsee what can be done in six months. I plan on studying my old copies of Runner's World, hoping to find an article on "6 Ways to Train fora Marathon in 6 Months". I'm sure I'll find one. Starting in January my schedule does lighten up a bit, since your new president will betaking over the helm.

This is my last president's column. Thanks to all who helped make our events successful over the last two years,Ed

Ocean to Sound RelaySeptember 24,2000

Veterans Team ReportRich Nash, Team Captain

T h e M a e n i r i c e n t E i g h t O v e r v i e w ; R i c h N a s hIt is tough putting together a quality team of runners for any relay but an eliteteam was in the making for the Ocean To Sound Relay on Long Island.

Starting on Jones Beach, dodging traffic through the different city streets,going to the North shore through back roads of the Island, and half way backto Bethpage State Park is no easy task for any team let alone the 121 teamsand their support vehicles this year. The 50.6-mile Ocean To Sound Relay is awell coordinated spin-off of TRRC's Manhattan to Peekskill Relay which oneof these days I hope returns to our grounds.

How would our team fair against the Bohemian Track Club comprised of eightAll Stars fi^om the Northeast Region? Would they devastate us by over eightminutes as they did two years ago? Would we have weak links on the team as wedid then, because of things that can happen prior to the race such as othercommitments and injuries? Would the heat get to the veteran seniors as werode into the valley of darkness for our destiny three hours down the road?Time would tell as we could only hope for the extremely dense fog to bum off,a moderate temperature, and not to stray off course. That would be the worsething for this elite team, each of whom was in prime time shape chopping atthe bit thinking, "Bring on the competition." The heat would be there, nochanging that, but a few last minute changes might better our chances. So,Scott switched legs with Tony. As age is creeping up on us rapidly, they thoughtit would be better if Scott ran a longer leg. Below is a synopsis of each Magnificent Eight experiences, surroundings, and thoughts on each leg as what is betterthan hearing it from the horses mouth.

L g e 1 : M i l e s ) A r t W e i s b e r gOnly due to Rich's perseverance was I able to show up at all since due to priorcommitments for kid's activities etc. I had to be home before noon. He managed to arrange a ride for me out to the race with Jack Brennan, a long trainingrun after the race and a ride home. He's the only guy I know who could persuademe to get up at 4:30 to run a hot race on a hard surface in a place I dislike.

At the starting line I was chatting with a Long Island guy who said somethingalong the lines of "you're Taconic, we can't beat you guys." Now I had to liveup to his and rich's billing. Fortunately my leg of the course was flat. It isstrange not to encounter a hill anyplace. The heat was a factor but our supportteam was right there with the water when they said they would be. I was veryhappy to hand off the baton with us in the lead.

L e g 2 ; ( 7 . 0 M i l e s )B a d t o t h e B o n e :

l a c k B r e n n a n

There are many good days in running and some bad days but there is only oneworst day. If you are lucky it will be in some inconsequential race far fromhome or if you aren't it will be in front of your friends in a Race that isimportant to you. I was unlucky.

The race warm-ups showed no signs of impending disaster. The injured hamstring was a little tight but the best it had been in five weeks. Grabbing the batonfrom Art Weisberg, I quickly passed two people but had forgotten to start mywatch. Perhaps my unconscious had looked into the future.

I settled into a steady pace but with no watch and not seeing any mile markersI had no clue as to where I was. I was having a little problem getting water fromthe bottles the support crew gave me but still felt OK. I had resisted thetemptation to go out too fast but didn't think of one other error that one canmake in a relay race. In a normal race you settle into a pace and after a fewmiles you run more or less with people of your ability but in a relay race, youcan have a much faster runner start later than you.

I heard footsteps behind me at around 2 1/2 miles and it was a runner from theBohemia Track Club (our main rival) and I fought hard to hold him off, toohard. 1 almost missed the turn at 3 miles and a rapid disintegration began. I letthe challenger go and then another and realized 1 was in trouble and the race

was only half over. One runner after another passed me and all I could thinkabout was getting to the finish. My mind was feverously trying to think of away out of the painful mess I was in. Stopping or walking were not viableoptions. My heart rate was well over 170, above my theoretical max.

Scott Abercrombie encouraged me to hold on. I saw pity in the eyes of thesupport team of our main rivals. I took some goo at about five miles and itkicked in about a mile later and I was able too hold my position for the last 3/4 of a mile. It was like the end of a very bad marathon or a nightmare, only myleg was over 19 miles shorter and I wasn't sleeping. Mercifully the exchangespot came up. This nightmare would really end. I finished and looked for a grasssurface to walk on just in case I passed out.

Joe and Tony dropped me off at the end of the second leg. I prepared to takethe hand-off from Jack and begin running the 5.6 miles of leg 3. I have vividmemories of this relay two years ago when I ran the fourth leg. My competition in that race was Mauiy Dean of Bohemia Track Club. It wasn't until afterthe race that I learned that Maury was the NYRRC Runner of the Year. I wasno match for him during that race. Thus, after being dropped off, I could notbelieve my eyes when I spotted Maury warming up for the hand-off for leg 3.History does repeat itself!

Taconic was slightly behind Bohemia at the end of two legs. 1 was chasingMaury again just as I was two years ago. I closed the gap between us during thefirst two miles, but then I started to pay back the oxygen debt incurred whilerunning too fast in the first twenty minutes. The overwhelming humidity wastaking a toll on me, and the course began to appear blurry. This was the longest5.6 miles I can ever recall running. It was with great relief that I reached theend of the leg and was able to hand the baton to Howie.

There was little consolation in learning later that I was only four seconds permile slower than Maury

These are snapshots of what I was thinking before and during my relay leg.

The Transition Areas between the relay legs are a madcap brew of runners,support people and vehicles flowing in and out of a relatively confined space.This is especially evident in the first 2 legs of the relay as the 121 teams arestill bunched together. It was in this swirl of activity that we found Jack, afterhe finished his painful run on leg 2, looking dazed and spent, apologizing forletting the team down.

Jack's run hadn't gone well. A hamstring injury had forced Jack to cut way backon his training for several weeks. And the large elastic bandage wrapped aroundhis left hamstring projected a worrying tenor as Jack began his run. He startedout well but it became evident that the high humidity and the concrete surfaceof the first 3 miles were taking their toll. The last 4 miles were painful towatch. In the support vehicle we kept a helpless vigil, hoping Jack could finish.He finally did, mercifully, heroically.

After he finished the bunch of us in the ffl support vehicle (we supported theeven numbered legs) hovered around Jack for a brief minute. We offered wordsof encouragement and then dashed off to our car. Bronek was already runningLeg #3 and we really had to get moving because our next assignment was to getme to the start of leg #4.

So off we went, leaving Jack, barely standing, amidst the bustle. As we ran tothe car 1 turned around for a look back at Jack. He had disappeared in thecrowd. It was a low point. When I think of the day that is what I see first.

Bronek drew Maury Dean from Bohemia Track Club to run against. Maury isone of the premier 50's age group runners in the area. As the 3"* leg progressedit became evident that Bronek was going to hold his own against Maury.

It was kind of nerve racking getting to the start of my leg. The course waswinding its way north across Long Island. That meant some major highways tocross and Bronek was almost 3 miles into his 5.6-raiIe leg before we caught upto him. We finally arrived at the leg ^-4 transition with about 10 minutes tos p a r e .

As I waited for my leg to begin, I remember feeling really excited. At thispoint, even before I got the baton, I felt we were going to win the relay. Bronekwas running well. I knew our strongest runners were yet to follow me and I felttotally confident and psyched before my run. About a minute before Bronekarrived it began to rain lightly: a good omen for me.

I fmally got the baton! A flurry of runners came through the transition areaduring the minute before Bronek arrived. I immediately set off after them ata 5K pace.

My first thoughts as my leg got under way were the course directions. I hadmemorized the map. And I had a mantra of the turn sequence (L-R-R-L-R-R)along with the names of the roads running in my head. I know it sounds sillyand paranoid but the feeling that the team would go off course never completely left me until Tony (our anchor) was on the final approach to finish line.

As I ran the baton became a sort of talisman for me. I held it lightly in my handand used it to concentrate on maintaining good form. What I thought might bea distraction became source of focus for me. It's hard to explain, but holdingonto it had an energizing effect on me.

I passed a bunch of runners in the early going. My first glance at my watch wasat about 10 minutes into my run. I realized I had about 30 minutes to go. Gulp!My 2-mile split was kind of fast and I felt the mild panic a 5K runner feels whenhe steps up to a lOK. At about two miles it dawned on me that the fatigue thatis beginning to settle in is not going away soon.

Using the baton I began to concentrate on my breathing and maintaining form.I relaxed, kept my arms moving and the rest of the run unfolded. My splits heldup. The runners I had passed earlier on stayed passed, and I held off everyonebehind me. I found out later that I caught and passed the guy from Bohemia.We were in first place again. The run felt good. But I was happy to see Joewaiting for the hand-off.

The Millennium Ocean to Sound relay was a throwback to the early 1990'swhen the Taconic men's masters ran superb relay races. We ultimately finishedll*^ out of 121 teams overall and we could have been scored as the third men'smasters team in addition to being the first senior masters team.

The relay is a special event, unlike other road races you are running as a team.The final result depends on everyone's efforts. You just don't want to let yourteammates down. The race goes on for hours and you don't know the finaloutcome. Are your competitors saving their best runners for the last legs?Can we hold our lead?

Each leg becomes a race within the larger race. You battle individual teamstrading places leg to leg and when you pass someone in your age division itsvery gratifying. Having the support of your teammates screaming encouragement, giving water and time checks, its such afun day.

Finally, at the awards ceremony being welcomed back and recognized by therace director as a quality team topped off the day. We all had a great time.

The party was terrific as always. We got to remember some of our priortriumphs- e.g. MAC Grand Prix in the last race/National cross country cham-pionship-and our performance gets better with age! Special thanks to JackBrennan. But for his gutsy performance with an injury, it would have been asad day in Mudville. But then, what else do you expect fix)m a Taconic racingt e a m

A Special thanks goes to Rich for executing this masterpiece and literallygiving me "the shirt off his back". 1 can't wait for next year.

P. S . W e ' l l d o b e t t e r .

Next to our own "Manhattan To Peekskill Relay" from the late 80's and early90's, the "Ocean To Sound" has been my favorite race. Most of us on the teamhave run many of these relays together on the Taconic Master's Team, and itwas great fiin to do it again; albeit in an older age category.

My highest regards to Rich Nash for entering the team, driving the van andbeing available to run if someone couldn't make it at the last minute. Nextyear Nash. Next year you will be in great shape and running one of the legs onthis relay!

Leg g; (5,5 Miles) Tony QalfanpWhen I took the handoff on the eighth leg I had a secure feeling knowing wewere in the lead by over 10 minutes over the next fifties team. I had watchedthe race develop over the day and saw Howie put a good 5 minutes on the teamwe were up against, so now all I had to do was run without getting lost or othercatastrophe like getting hit by a car.

I had the course turns in my head: right, left, left, left and then finish in thepark. I caught a runner from the Warren Street Open team in the first 300yards and thought this is great I picked up a place, so now we're in 10"^ place.

But as I continued on my leg the Warren Street runner and a masters runnerfrom Runners Edge both passed me around a mile into my run and I started tofeel that I may lose a spot. I wasn't worried about about out place in ourcategory but I wanted to try to give a good effort for the team, so I tried tokeep up with the two runners right ahead of me.

We came to a long winding road and there was a left fork you could mistakenlytake. The Warrren Street runner looked back at me and asked which way dowe go, I told him straight ahead as 1 could see Rich's blue van in a strategic spoton the course ahead. I began to work hard to catch the two runners as thiscaused them to slow up a bit. I caught the Runners Edge man but couldn't quiteg e t t h e o t h e r . c o n t i n u e d o n t h e n e x t p a g e . . .

Ocean to Sound remains very special to me. I get to show my Long Islandrunning friends just how dominant Taconic RRC masters and vets can be. Theyrespond with ridicule for my geographic disloyalty, and we all have fun! I havealways found my leg to be a somewhat brutal event- there's the added responsibility for the team in addition to your personal agenda.

Again this year, I started to come unglued at the end of the leg because of theheat/humidity, but I managed to hang on. There were familiar competitorsaround me on my leg. I lost by a few yards to a young female runner (EllenBrach, wife of Danny to those who remember). She is a new runner in myhorizon. I'm planning to put her out, as soon as possible. On a better note, Ibeat John Lupski who is a regular competitor of ours from Runners Edge.

We had a great race. We won our event by sixteen minutes, and were thirdmasters overall. That could easily have been second.

Ocean to Sound, cont'd...

After three miles of my 5.5-mile leg I still 30 yards behind Warren Street. Inever looked back to see how far Runners Edge is behind me (rememberingSatchel Page's adage). I worked hard and I was really feeling good because Iknew were in good shape. The team gave me a great spot to be in and all I hadto do was finish. I didn't catch the man ahead of me but ran to the finish line

I think about running as a thrill no matter what the circumstances because youare always in your own little race. Tm happy that our team ran so well anddidn't leave me with anything harder but to run my own race. After missing ayear it was fun again to be on a Taconic Team, and fun to run like we did whenwe were kids; the relay seems to bring that out as 1 saw it in many runners thatday. What a great day

C o n c l u s i o n : R i c h N a s h

I knew what we had in this Magnificent Eight and no one would let theirteammates down even if they dropped in their tracks. That was the e.sprit decorps which enabled us to solidify our victory by over 16 minutes and almost19 minutes over third place Bohemian Track Club. One minute faster off our5:28:20 and we would finish in second place for the masters division and sixthin the open. Rob Briglio is looking to break 5:00 next year which may be a tallorder but I can clearly see the 5:15 range.

All of us were elated, exhausted, and extremely excited upon the conclusion ofthe race and the fantastic festivities afterwards. What a complete day as 1 amvery proud to have the caliber team represented by TRRC and congratulationsto each team member putting their blood and guts on the line. Hats off to youa l l ! ! !

September 23, 2000By Debra Kenney

With the passing of the summer's heatand the beginning of the coolness of Fall,one's thoughts turn to apple picking,beautiful Fall foliage and cross-countiyrunning. I love cross-country runningand nature and it Is for this reason thatI chose to d i rec t the Teatown 5K!

Once again this year, we were lucky,t h e w e a t h e r h e l d o u t . W e d i d n ' t e x

actly have bright sunny skies, but therain waited until the afternoon. Ninety-one runners came out and ran the some

what rugged course. Although relatively flat for northern Westchester, thiscourse runs around the lake, winds through a swamp, and has a couple ofgood hills to it. All the attributes of a good cross-country course! FrankVisingardi, 31, of Nanuet finished first for the men with a time of 18:38 andJean Hennessey, 22, of Mahopac was the women's winner. See the rest ofthe resul ts l is ted be low.

The Teatown 5K is a fund-raiser for the Teatown Lake Reservation. Hopefully, by having this race more people are exposed to Teatown (check outtheir web site at http://www.teatown.org) and become aware of what avaluable resource we have in our area. Teatown is a large nature preservewith both hiking trails through beautiful countryside and a very activeeducational component. Schools use these educational programs extensively. It's a logical tit that the Taconic Road Runners Club, which makessuch frequent use of the outdoors, would want to work with such a greatplace. Special thanks to our sponsors, who make the fund raising aspect ofthe race possible. This year they were Club Fit, Yorktown Beer & Soda,Yorktown Pizza & Pasta, Salerno Chrysler Dodge & Plymouth, MidwayHardware, Mrs. Greens Natural Market and Chase Manhattan Bank. Pleasesupport our sponsors! Last, but certainly not least, thank you to thefollowing people who helped; Cathy and Joe Groneman, Robin Maloney,Josh Knight, Kate D'Ottavio, Jimmy Whelan, Ed McLaughlin, Lee Saroken,Rich Nash, Glen McCarthy, Gary Steinel, Joe Porcaro, Tony Galfano, JeffPurdy, Pierce Brennan, Bronislaw Czech, and anybody else I might haveforgotten, we couldn't have done it without you!!

T H E 1 5 T H A N N U A LCOLUMBUS DAY RACES FOR CHILDREN

by Scott Abercrombie

Another beautiful October day and another great turn out, 486 childrenparticipated! The event is organized as a competition between elementary

schools, with the largest number of children rep-resenting Peekskill and Lakeland. The children

^ were divided up by grade into 46 individual races.In each race every child received a ribbon, thefirst 1/3 won medds and the first 3 scored pointsfor their school. The largest competition wasbetween the Lakeland schools with Van Courttaking first, Thomas Jefferson second and GeorgeWashington third. The first Peekskill schoolwas Hill Crest followed by Woodside in second. Of all the other public schools Brooksidefrom Yorktown was first, and the first Paro

chial school was St. Augustine from Ossining.

The Peekskill Parks Department brought in the Challenge Corps toassist with the parking. The members of the Challenge Corps are from analternative high school located at Camp Smith, and they are very involvedhelping out at community events. Until this year, with so many participants, the parking has been absolute bedlam. I am very, very grateful to theChallenge Corps for alleviating what has been a serious problem. I wish wecould have used them for crowd control on the infield as well!

Several of the children who ran well for their schools also belonged to the Novas Track Club coached by Derrick Hudson. Many of ushave seen Derrick coaching his own daughters on the Yorktown track. Over t ime other

parents asked him if he would coach theirkids as well, and now he has a very active, ^and high spirited, running club of children.If anyone is interested his e-mail isReggaerudd@aol.com and the club web site *is http://homestead.juno.com/nvcnovas/tc.html Another Taconic member, MikeGosset, also coaches a children's runningclub. His club. The Grass Roots Track Club,is mostly comprised of children who are 8-12 years old. They train duringthe summer months at the Pleasantville High School track, and they justcompleted their 13*^ year. He can be reached at mgosset@gatewav.net andthe club web site is http://grassrootstrackclub.org

Co-race director John Hallinan did a superb job organizing the field withraces starting as soon as the one before finished. All the volunteers weregreat. With John on the field were Joe Porcaro, Pete Meisler, Ken Martin,Ed Mclaughlin, Debi Kenney, Mike Gosset, Fred Reger, T l^er Abercrombie,and Molly Dougherty. Joanne Bertram organized the registration withhelp from her husand Bill, Cara Abercrombie and Dave Freccia.

Fourteen hundred dollars were spent on awards this year. Ouch! Theeconomy may be booming, but it's never been harder to obtain sponsorship. Thus I am particularly thankful for the funding received from SalernoChrysler Plymouth Dodge on Rt. 202 in Yorktown (Salerno also contributes to the Teatown race), my dentist Ronald G. Worth of Hudson ValleyDental in Peekskill, Peekskill Paint and Hardware in Peekskill owned byTaconic member Marty DiCola, and American Cycle and Tire on 9A inMontrose. They deserve your support.
